Part 1: Savory + Crunchy Toddler Travel Snacks for Holiday Trips

Written By Mailoha Kitchens

When I grab a snack for my toddler while traveling, I am thinking about one thing first:

Will this help her feel steady?

Holiday travel comes with long stretches between meals, disrupted schedules, and a lot of stimulation. Savory, crunchy snacks tend to work best in these moments because they help provide more stable energy.

For travel days, I focus on snacks that include some combination of protein, fat, fiber, or greens, rather than snacks that lead to quick spikes and crashes.

Savory + Crunchy Toddler Travel Snacks

These are the snacks we rely on most during holiday trips:

  • Fresh cucumbers

  • Baby-cut carrots

  • Chomps beef sticks

  • Simple Mills cheddar pop mmms

  • Once Upon a Farm tractor wheels

  • Seaweed snacks

I choose snacks like these because they:

  • Hold up well in cars and on planes

  • Help stretch time between meals

  • Support energy during long travel days

Come back tomorrow for part 2 - the sweet, shelf-stable snacks I pack for travel days.
